Kirina's Closet

While the majority of the classic Horde starter gear remained the same, Cataclysm brought a lot of fresh new looks for low level players. If your characters are strictly “Horde only”, hopefully these outfits while inspire you to try a different look for one of your new characters (or old characters). There are so many different outfit possibilities, even when limited to no level through level 1 armor and without the use of cross-faction auction house.

Acolyte’s Robe Black Swashbuckler’s Shirt Thug Boots

Love the look of the Mystic Sarong, but, you are not a high enough level to wear it? The new Acolyte’s Robe allows your character to have the look of the Mystic Sarong + the Polychromatic Visionwrap in one convenient, non BOE robe ^_^.

This next robe is one of the other lovely robes added in Cataclysm:

Goblin Apprentice’s Robe Common Gray Shirt Footpad’s Shoes

This robe would also look great with the Blue Linen Shirt, or dressed up a bit with the Cerulean Filigreed Doublet. The other two Goblin robes, the Goblin Neophyte’s Robe and the Goblin Acolyte’s Robe, are in the same style with different color schemes; the Goblin Acolyte’s Robe would make a nice, low level look for autumn outfits.

Acolyte’s Robe Dark Silk Shirt Recruit’s Boots

The Dark Silk Shirt nicely fills in the gaps of this robe, creating a unique look; the Ebon Filigreed Doublet would work great, too. The Recruit’s Boots tie in the black from the shirt, however, the Dress Shoes would work just fine, as well.

This next outfit is a great look for low-level Horde rogues:

Thug Vest Black Swashbuckler’s Shirt Tattered Cloth Belt Thug Boots Apprentice’s Pants Tattered Cloth Gloves

Like the Worgen’s Gilnean Recruit’s Belt, the Tattered Cloth Belt is very versatile to accessorize many outfits. It matches perfectly with the Thug Vest.

Primal Shirt Rusted Chain Gloves Light Cloth Belt Rusted Chain Leggings Brawler’s Boots

While I feel that this is a nice look for a hunter, the Rusted Chain mail armor pieces can not be worn until level 40, so, I guess it would make a great “off-duty” hunter outfit for a higher level character.

Another great hunter-like outfit:

Brawler’s Vest Thunder Bluff Doublet Dirty Leather Gloves Dirty Leather Belt Goblin Acolyte’s Pants Dirty Leather Boots

This outfit could also be a great “Home-Town” ensemble to wear around Thunder Bluff/Mulgore. Taking off the Brawler’s Vest reveals more of the Thunder Bluff Doublet, and, the ruggedness of the other armor pieces compliments the shirt nicely.

Recruit’s Tunic Red Linen Shirt Unadorned Chain Belt Sun Cured Gloves Recruit’s Pants Sun Cured Boots

The beautiful Burning Crusade styles can look great on other races besides Blood Elves. In this outfit, the Red Linen Shirt blends with the Recruit’s Tunic. The Sun Cured armor pieces offer softer brown touches that echoes the brown in the pants, and provides a lighter feel to the outfit, rather than a heavy all-mail one.

Initiate’s Vest Bold Yellow Shirt Goblin Trapper’s Pants Dirty Leather Gloves Dirty Leather Belt Goblin Acolyte’s Shoes

This classic grungy and earthy outfit is the perfect look for a starting Horde shaman or hunter.

Trapper’s Vest Black Swashbuckler’s Shirt Light Cloth Belt Light Cloth Gloves Apprentice’s Pants Trapper’s Boots

A lovely, yet rugged, mix of blue and clay colors would make a great autumn outfit for a level one character.

Another low-level home-town outfit to consider is:

Tattered Cloth Vest Undercity Doublet Tattered Cloth Bracers Tattered Cloth Gloves Tattered Cloth Belt Thug Pants Thug Boots

The Tattered Cloth set compliments the Undercity Doublet nicely, but so do the blueish-purple Thug armor items – the perfect outfit for an lowbie Forsaken player to wear in Undercity.

Warder’s Vest White Swashbuckler’s Shirt Initiate’s Pants Lookout’s Shoes / Sun Cured Boots

Mixing the Blood Elf hunter’s starter chest-piece and the softer Lookout’s Shoes with the paladin’s Initiate’s Pants relaxes the chain mail feel of the whole Initiate’s outfit while still matching in color. Wearing a shirt under the chest-piece is optional. However, the Warder’s Vest on female characters is much shorter, and, a matching length shirt, such as the White Swashbuckler’s Shirt, looks the best when paired with it.

Rugged Trapper’s Vest Common Brown Shirt Rusted Chain Bracers Dirty Leather Belt Dirty Leather Gloves Rusted Chain Leggings Rusted Chain Boots

The Rugged Trapper’s Vest is very versatile for both Horde and Alliance characters (it shares the same armor model for both factions) partly because of its neutral brown and green colors – it can be paired with almost any other armor pieces. In the Alliance Starter Outfits, I paired it with softer cloth/leather armor in correlating colors. The Horde’s Rusted Chain armor adds weight to the outfit, while the Dirty Leather accessories accent the ruggedness, and match the green patches, of the vest.
